THE CITY OF WYLIE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION AS A TREE CITY USA. THIS DESIGNATION MARKS WYLIE AS A COMMUNITY THAT IS DEDICATED TO THE CARE, PRESERVATION AND EXPANSION OF ITS URBAN FOREST. Since 1972, the Arbor Day Foundation has sought to inspire the planting, care and celebration of trees. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by The National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. The program provides national recognition for urban and community forestry programs in thousands of towns and cities. Reports show that over 125 million people live in a Tree City USA. This is Wylie’s first year to be named to this prestigious program. To qualify for Tree City USA, a town or city must meet four standards established by the Arbor Day Foundation and its partner organizations. The four standards are: a tree board or department, a community tree preservation ordinance, an Arbor Day proclamation and observance, and a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2.00 per capita. Over the last three years, the Parks and Recreation Division has worked to make sure we meet those standards, and submitted the city’s successful application in November of 2013.
125 MILLION
PEOPLE LIVE IN A TREE CITY USA.

“Communities that are honored with a Tree City USA designation make a strong commitment to planting and caring for trees, and we applaud their efforts,” said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. “We also commend a community’s elected officials, volunteers and its citizens for providing needed care for its trees. They recognize that trees provide numerous environmental, economical and health benefits for the community every day.” We hope that Wylie’s inclusion in this program will be a source of pride for our citizens. As committed stewards of our natural resources, we know that the citizens of Wylie benefit from cleaner air, shadier streets, and the aesthetic beauty that healthy trees provide. As a Tree City USA, we hope to increase public awareness of the environmental, economic and social benefits of a well-maintained urban forest. Look for signs to be placed at the entrances to the city in the near future. About the Arbor Day Foundation - The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit, environmental and education organization of more than one million members, with a mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. More information on the foundation and its programs can be found at www.arborday.org.

PHEASANT CREEK PARK
OLDE CITY PARK
Located in far Southeast Wylie, Pheasant Creek Park provides a ribbon of green space for the Pheasant Creek Addition. In 2012, the City of Wylie received a grant from Collin County to begin developing the park. The city chose to concentrate on the Northern edge of the park, and began installing improvements in the spring of 2013. The park now boasts a playground, pavilion and the first leg of a trail that may eventually connect to Rockwall County. Solar-powered lighting fixtures have been placed in the pavilion and along the trail, to provide for light after hours without requiring the consumption of fossil fuels. We look forward to completing this stage of the park development this year. In the coming months, look for landscaping and trees to be installed, as well as a few more benches and litter receptacles.
Located in Historic Downtown Wylie, Olde City Park is a focal point for many of the celebrations and events that knit our community together. Featuring a pavilion, playground, horseshoe pits, gazebo, bbq grills and trail, the park is a cherished destination for Wylians young and old. The Park is also home to Wylie’s Veteran’s Memorial, which is managed by the local office of the American Legion. The park is always a part of our downtown events, like Boo! On Ballard, the Pedal Car Race, Bluegrass on Ballard, and the Christmas Parade. Many other events find a home at Olde City Park throughout the year as well, and there’s always a welcoming smile for everyone.

For a comprehensive library of Recreation Facility Rules and Guidelines, forms and policy, please visit WylieTexas. gov/Recreation or contact us anytime for assistance Recreation@WylieTexas.gov and let us know if you have questions or need clarification. Thank you! ACTIVITY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE So you tried “Macramé Comeback” and it just wasn’t for you. A full refund is available through the first day of most contracted courses. Dying to try “Extreme Boot Camp”? Go ahead and give it a whirl! If you are dissatisfied with the quality of a registered activity, please contact a staff person, immediately so we may have an opportunity to solve the problem. DON’T MISS A THING! Activity registrations are available on a first-come, first-serve basis with full payment. Register early and guarantee your spot before maximum enrollment is met. Full payment and waiver are required prior to participation. Allow time for your front desk registration or skip the line and register online. Activities cancel several days out if minimum enrollment is unmet. Register early and encourage friends to do the same. Registering “in bulk” is encouraged as a timesaver. Full refunds are available for most multi-day activities through the first meeting date. Review full withdraw and refund policies prior to registration. ANYTIME ACTIVITY REGISTRATION Register online with a credit card for most activities at http:// APM.ActiveCommunities.com/Wylie. Some exclusions and nonrefundable transaction fees apply. IN-PERSON ACTIVITY REGISTRATION Register in person with cash, check or credit card at Wylie Recreation Center, Senior Recreation Center or Parks and Recreation Administration Office during business hours.

Summer Activities with a start date between June and August open up for EBOR the last week of April. Fall and Winter Activities with a start date between September and December open up for EBOR the last week of July. Actual “first day of registration” varies. Some Activities may require special registration procedures including deadlines. Some Activities may be excluded.

An Early Bird Online Registration (EBOR) discount of 15% is available for online registrations processed during the week prior to standard registration. The discount is available for designated activities. A Rec Pass Holder (RP) discount of 15% is available to current Rec Pass Holders for most contracted activities held at Wylie Recreation Center. The RP discount may be combined with Early Bird Online Registration. To receive the discount when registering online, use your existing account tied to your Rec Pass. Let us know if you need assistance, Recreation@WylieTexas.gov or 972-516-6360. EBOR and RP Discounts may not be applied to Special Events, Camps, Leagues, off-site activities or staff-led activities. Non-refundable transaction fees applied to all online registrations. ACTIVITY WAITLIST You may be eligible for a waitlist when an activity has filled. If space opens up, waitlisted guests will be contacted in the order received. Please maintain current contact information with us. Waitlisted guests will be given a limited amount of time to follow up with a full registration before the next waitlisted guest will be contacted. The waitlist does not guarantee your spot nor serve as registration. ACTIVITY CANCELLATIONS Encourage friends to register with you and register early. An instructor may require a minimum number of participants before offering an activity. A decision about whether or not to cancel an activity is typically made the Friday before an activity starts. Please maintain current contact information with us. Registrants are notified by phone. If your activity cancels, you may transfer to another available activity, leave the credit on your account for future use or request a refund. Supply fees and online transaction fees are nonrefundable regardless of withdraw or cancellation of the class.
